Learn to Crochet with Stella Adams-Schofield
Crochet as a craft is currently enjoying something of a
revival. Many of us learned at our grandmother's knee but have long since
forgotten the fundamentals that give us the confidence to have another go now.
On this workshop, Stella teaches how to work a sample of
chain, double crochet, treble and slip stitch and then how to read a pattern.
Once you have the basics, just add a little practice and perseverance and, with
the help of Stella's valuable 'how to' sheets, you will soon be able to tackle
some really interesting projects. During the workshop you will crochet two flower motifs to make
into a corsage and take home… along with basic knowledge and skills of a craft
to build on and give you hours of future crochet pleasure.
